"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M.)

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

• 2008 ELECTION: Chuck Todd, NBC News political director; Richard Wolffe, Newsweek senior White House correspondent and MSNBC political analyst; Chris Hayes, The Nation Washington editor

It's a new week on OlbyPlanet, and the Kossacks' favorite tax cheat is back to bellow the opening spiel: Clinton on the verge of suspending! Nighty McCain attack: the Gramm Scandal! [Ding!] Pringles! It's a blue Monday at Olbermann Watch.

#5: Hillary on the verge of endorsing Obama! By tomorrow night! Oh, and Karl Rove will in fact be indicted. Hot Toddy rattled off the over-familiar delegate counts and was Great Thanksed. Keith pimped out the Wolffe Man, who simpered speculation and was able to give McCain a few elbows as well. Sure enough, he was Greaat Thanksed.

#4: More on will Hillary pull out. Oralmann dragged in perennial priss Dana Milbank. Their "discussion" was the most substanceless, content-free drivel heard in many an OlbyPlanet moon. He too was Great Thanksed. Olby was handing them out like penny candies tonight. A brief update on Sen Kennedy followed.

After "Bushed" (Blue Blog Sources: Talking Points Memo, Think Propaganda, Prison Planet) and the McCain Scandal [Ding!] came #3: the nightly McCain attack. Scandal! [Ding!] Clip of McCain at AIPAC that edited out the applause. Oralmann spun a six-degrees-of-separation deal involving Phil Gramm and what some bank did five years ago, then pimped out Hayes from the ultra-left (though not identified as such) Nation, who sweetened the pot with a McCain-bashing quote from MSNBC "pundit" Joe Scarborough. They did everything but call him "McSame" again.

#2: Plug for #1. #1: Keith Komedy about Klinton. In the Media Matters Minute, it was a plethora of the usual victims: Gretchen Carlson, Fixed News! [Ding!] (Blue Blog Source: Think Propaganda). The usual cherry-picked snippet snatched out of its context, giving Oralmann a chance to show his misogyny again: she's "dumb as a freaking post". Worser: Mike Gallagher (Blue Blog Source: Think Propaganda); personal attack for this victim: "money grubbing coward". Worst: Rupert Murdoch (Blue Blog Source: TVNewser). Olby lied that nobody there ever went after anyone's children. How about Lou Dobbs's daughter? How about Bill O'Reilly kids? And, as commenter Scott pointed out, what about Steve Doocy's kid? Remember that, Fat Ass? In case you don't, here's the blowback it led to:

You've never went after anyone's children? Another Olbermann Lie exposed.

Dogs That Did Not Bark: Once again, a veritable cornucopia of canine confidentials that Edward R Olbermann deliberately withheld from the gullible groupies who hang on his every word, shoulder shrug, and drop of spittle. Remember when Fat Ass would have a nightly Bad News from Iraq segment? We haven't seen many of those lately, because Bear has been spiking news of the Iraq war. Like this, and this. Not a peep out of Olby either about Afghanistan. Why do you suppose that is? Of course Merkle isn't about to make any mention of the latest Medal of Honor winner. (Why does Keith Olbermann hate the troops?) But the most sizable silent schnauzer has to be the continuing burial of Obama and his radical church. He has yet to report on Fr Pfleger. And he said not one word about Obama's dramatic separation from his church of 20 years. Of course A-Mess-NBC helped that along with their odd decision not to broadcast Obama's lengthy Saturday night press conference. Maybe Herr Olbermahn ordered them not to.

And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 756th day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".

How about Steve Doocy's kid, probably what Murdoch was referencing as it happened, I believe, just this month?

Excellent point, Scott. That is a great example. How can anyone claim Olbermann is not a bald-faced liar when he said he never went after anyone's kids? Thanks for that outstanding point.

MSDNC won’t run the "Fr" Pfleger tapes? Why don't they just run an Obama add on continuous loop? Can't they even pretend to be a news network? Usually if Obama held a press conference and read the phone book, MSDNC would have wall to wall coverage.

"You've never went after anyone's children? Another Olbermann Lie exposed." Johnny$

Don't forget Jenna Bush and Chelsey Clinton (Keith's stooge Shuster went after Chelsey)

There was one other kid attacked by Oralmann: John McCain's daughter Meghan (for wearing a scarf in a blog picture). This was Friday during his Michelle Malkin attack in WPitW.

I don't know why it still surprises me, but KO really has ZERO regard for the truth, doesn't he?

I know Karma claimed he doesn't really believe the crap he spews, it's just for ratings. I almost have to believe that, as there is just no way that the "Edward R. Murrow of our generation" could get so much wrong everyday on accident.

I know KO is sooooo much smarter than everybody else (all the lefties say so)....maybe he's actually like the anti-Colbert, a conservative role-playing a raving, lunatic-fringe Liberal? And he's just so intellectually superior to all of us that we just don't get it?

Olby attacked Steve Doocy's kid
Then ran under his desk and hid
The truth he denies
Attack family? Keith lies
That's exactly what Olberdouche did

I'm so sickened by olby saying he supports the troops, yet fails to report stories that put them in a positive light, because he hates GWB pathologically.

Attacking children? He hasn't exactly been nice to Siri Cruise, at one point playing a mock tape of her crying just so he could do a shout out during his hottie-hunt at that time, LA CD correspondent Katy. Then he stood back while letting Michael Musto say Siri didn't even exist, that she was just a pillow.

By the way, what ever happened to MM? Was he thown under the bus with Craig Crawford? It's getting awfully crowded under there between KO and Obama doing some major tossing.

How about his 12/07 accusing the Bush twins of running naked through the hotel halls in South America and that Mrs B Bush was spotted eating oysters and mutually feeling up with some young stud.

If anyone wants the citations I will find and provide them.
